Make a paste: Mix 2–3 tablespoons of baking soda with a few teaspoons of water to form a thick paste.
Apply: Spread the paste generously over the oven’s interior surfaces, especially on crusted spots.
Spray vinegar: Fill a spray bottle with white vinegar and lightly spray over the baking soda paste. It will fizz and bubble, helping to lift grime.
Wait a few minutes: Let the fizz do the work for 5 minutes. For thicker crusts, you can leave for up to 10 minutes.
Wipe clean: Use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe away the paste and loosened grime. Repeat if necessary.
Final rinse: Wipe down with clean water and a little dish soap if desired to remove any residue.
Tips & Safety
Always make sure the oven is cool before applying the paste.
Avoid harsh scrubbing to protect your oven’s interior coating.
For regular maintenance, wipe spills immediately to prevent stubborn crusts.
Why It Works
The baking soda acts as a gentle abrasive, breaking down grease, while vinegar’s acidity helps dissolve grime. Together, they create a fizzing reaction that loosens baked-on food quickly and naturally.
